Visions of the Other: When Portugal and Brazil meet [Conference by Ângela Carvalho]
On Friday, April 29, at 15:00, at the Portuguese Language Center at TSU (Building II, room 203), Ângela Carvalho aims to explore Portugal-Brazil connections from a perspective of otherness, or "visions of the Other". Working with authentic materials, from the "Carta do Achamento do Brasil" (letter to the Portuguese King about first reaching the land that became Brazil, 16th century) to contemporary Brazilian jokes about Portuguese people, the focus of the conference will be on presenting and reflecting upon gazes and preconceptions of the Other, as well as analysing some real differences between Portuguese and Brazilian: their way of speaking.
ÂNGELA CARVALHO was born in Porto, where she completed her undergraduate studies in Modern Languages and Literatures (Portuguese and French) in 2003. In her post graduate studies, she specialized in Portuguese as a Foreign Language Didactic (2009) and completed her PhD on the same topic, all at the University of Porto, Portugal.
Since 2007, she has been a teacher of Portuguese as a Foreign Language at the Arts Faculty of University of Porto and other Portuguese and foreign education institutions. Since 2011, she has also been involved in Portuguese as Foreign Language Teacher Formation and Teacher Training.
Since 2015, she has been an Assistant Professor at the Arts Faculty of University of Porto, teaching Portuguese as a Foreign Language, Didactics of Portuguese as a Foreign Language, and training teachers.
She has several publications in the fields of Portuguese as a Foreign Language, Teacher Training and Speech Analysis and she has presented several conferences and workshops, namely in Portugal, Brazil, USA, New Zeland, Malasia, Romenia and Spain.
